Some letters come with a gentle tap at the door, but Levity's "Postman" kicks it down with style. As their first release of 2025, "Postman" suggests the breakout EDM.com Class of 2024 trio isn't just delivering the mail, but sending a message about where electronic music can go when tradition and innovation collide. Out now via Ultra Records, the track is a love letter to soul music's golden age, channeled through Levity's brand of neon-soaked dubstep. It opens with a smooth, honeyed croon, rich with vintage whimsy as if Sam Cooke himself were whispering through the static of an old jukebox. But just as the nostalgic charm sets in, Levity rip the floor out from under you. With bass stabs that claw through the mix and snarl with distortion, the drop hits with the force of a wrecking ball wrapped in velvet—devastating but somehow still elegant. Through the chaos, however, that silky hook resurfaces and grounds the track in doo-wop warmth. It's in these moments that Levity demonstrate their growing maturity as producers, knowing exactly when to unleash bedlam and when to pull back and let the soul breathe.

InteliDey’s latest release, "I Don’t Think," is a brooding dive into the darker edges of electronic music, fusing the high-energy urgency of future rave with the emotive pull of melodic techno. InteliDey's production is razor-sharp, layering eerie synths over a propulsive bassline. The UK-based, Indian-born producer, who is also an award-winning tech entrepreneur and TEDx speaker, crafted an arrangement that builds tension but never fully resolves, leaving listeners suspended in its electric haze. The lyrics—minimal but evocative—carry an eerie detachment: "I don’t think you’re gonna set me free… Just the way I want it." The contrast between the relentless rhythm and the emotional weight of the vocals creates a hypnotic push-pull effect, making the track as introspective as it is festival-ready. Take a listen below. The new single, InteliDey says, is an example of a fresh, genre-blending sound he's dubbed "Infinity Wave." He was first inspired by David Guetta and MORTEN's future rave concept, which ignited a new sub-genre back in 2021. "As someone with ADHD, I thrive on music that keeps evolving, surprising, and capturing my focus with new elements," he said. "This led me to ask: 'Why not create a track that combines the best of these styles—a sonic experience that blends future rave’s energy, melodic techno’s depth, and progressive house’s emotional storytelling?' That’s how the concept of 'Infinity Wave' was born. I can’t be the only ADHDer in the world who craves this mix, so I wanted to share this joy with others who share a similar taste."

As we step into 2025, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the incredible music that closed out 2024—particularly the outstanding single ‘Coming Home (I.M.U)’ by TATE SEDAR. Released on December 6th, ‘Coming Home (I.M.U)’ marked the sixth and final release of 2024 for the San Francisco-based artist, serving as a perfect ending to a remarkable year. TATE SEDAR treated his fans to an number of unforgettable tracks throughout the year, including ‘San Francisco’, ‘Wish I Could’, ‘Emotions’, ‘Our Goodbye’, and ‘Overload’. These songs remain fan favorites, and ‘Coming Home (I.M.U)’ is undoubtedly poised to join their ranks. Like what came before, ‘Coming Home (I.M.U)’ delivers mainstage festival energy, blending power with euphoria. The track masterfully blends emotional, homesick female vocals with driving beats that reflect TATE SEDAR‘s roots in electro and progressive house. It’s a journey through identity and nostalgia, underpinned by the sights and sounds of his hometown, San Francisco—a theme beautifully captured in the accompanying artwork. Stream this single below and on all other platforms here. The story of TATE‘s signature sound dates back to 2023. With performing taking up the majority of his time, he didn’t have time to spend in the studio. By moving to Los Angeles in 2018, it allowed him to work in nightlife, traverse the commercial & underground worlds of music and educated himself in the infectious genre markets of electronic and pop within LA’s musical DNA. During this time is when TATE began to form his homemade signature sound. Although already in love with bass and future house, he became engrossed with the eclectic sounds of garage music and modern dancepop. And while learning the lay of the land in LA’s house and techno landscape, he eventually was graced with major shows from Insomniac Events and acquaintances with some of his muses: Wolfgang Gartner, Deniz Koyu and Dubvision. A rare session in that summer of ‘23 led TATE to the chord progression that eventually became ‘Coming Home’. However – even with the start of catchy vocal chops and an endearing guitar hook, there was nothing quite there to anchor it. In what ultimately became a turning point for TATE ater that year, he saw value in inspiration both old and new. He found nuance in both analog instrumentation and emulation in dance music – citing the album ‘Illusion of Depth’ (2020) by Mat Zo as a source – and realized that both the nonelectronic music (R&B, rock and hip-hop) as well as progressive sounds of his personal development could be a collective beacon for his creativity. In searching for a press shots, Angelino Heights – one of the first neighborhoods in LA with Victorian and Edwardian homes like those in SF – instandly came to his mind. He felt that it was the perfect analogy of how he finds his home both in music and his surroundings. To add to this notion, he comments: “If anybody knows me well, they know I love San Francisco. And if you don’t – listen to my music.” – TATE SEDAR It was finally with a third vocal take and incorporation of post-EDM elements – bells, piano, strings and mandolins – that the chord progression of ‘Coming Home’ came alive and began to germinate in production. The progression always reminded him of the running hills and drives with houses of old and new architecture within San Francisco as well as some nostalgia – leading to that large 80s-like chord stab before the second build. ‘Emotions’ ft. PSCYHEDELIC) was his first experiment in post-EDM, but ‘Coming Home’ and its vocal tied a new sense of authorship to his post-EDM sound: one that could incorporate the progressive styles of his mentors into its definition and part of himself & his home in its results. Once again, TATE cements identity in more than just vivid production with another jubilant and radio-welcoming soundscape throughout ‘Coming Home (I.M.U)’. San Francisco has always been his north star, and although he began his journey into post-EDM this year with another track of his birthplace’s namesake, his new single elaborates on his passion of The City by The Bay and an ongoing voyage of his sound. Call it cliché or overrated, but the theme of home is timeless, and TATE’s song – even in its makeup – is nothing but that.

It garnered a lot of fan craze during that night, a true testament to Dom’s craft. The Melbourne-based DJ/producer continues to take the world by storm with his hypnotic house music bangers.

Fresh off winning both EDC Orlando’s Discovery Project and Toolroom’s remix competition, TONG continues her hot streak with “Is It Real,” a hip-house hybrid that proves why major labels have been paying attention. The Los Angeles-based, Chinese-born producer skillfully mines ’90s hip-hop energy for dancefloor gold, laying playful vocals over tech house fundamentals. Landing on Funky Rabbit, the track marries bold toplines with rhythmic basslines in a way that feels both vintage and vital. For TONG, who caught ears with her Matroda remix on Insomniac and releases on Hexagon, “Is It Real” feels like a natural evolution. Between the track’s bouncy confidence and her growing cosigns from dance music’s biggest labels, the answer to her track’s titular question seems pretty clear.

Leave it to Dzeko to spot dance potential in unlikely places. The Canadian producer, known for bridging pop and EDM with surgical precision, has turned fellow northerners MENEW’s rock foundations into festival fuel with “Never Us.” The original collaboration already proved Dzeko’s pop instincts correct, breaking onto U.S. dance radio with its melodic approach. But it’s BYOR’s subsequent remix that really shows how far MENEW’s sound can stretch – transforming the Grammy-nominated alt-rockers’ track into a peak-time missile of driving drums and synth hooks. For MENEW, three classically trained brothers who’ve shared stages with U2 and earned Letterman spots, this electronic evolution feels natural. They’ve been flirting with dance music since launching their Brothers side project at Cannes in 2017. But with Dzeko’s touch and BYOR’s remix pushing “Never Us” into serious club territory, these former rock purists might have just found their most powerful sound yet.

Teed’s vision extends far beyond this initial release, promising a year of sonic expansions that will delve deeper into the lore and introduce us to the central characters of his narrative as he continues to build out this world. Beyond the release, Josh Teed is making waves with a series of curated events showcasing some of his favorite artists, including Luzcid, Wraz, Great Dane, Common Creation, and many more. He’s also hitting the road, joining Apashe on his Antagonist 2.0 tour, featuring orchestral elements, and will be supporting Daily Bread on the Flash Flood Tour in March and April.

Apashe’s big gamble paid off. He executed his vision immaculately January 24th at Seattle’s Wamu Theater, bringing a classical symphony center stage for electronic music fans. Approximately 7,000 concertgoers packed in for one of two philharmonic orchestra shows to see the innovative producer's ambitious "Antagonist 2.0 Tour" production. Apashe’s philharmonic orchestral show is a masterstroke. Already one of electronic music's most innovative producers, he is now equipped with a live show that physically demonstrates his creativity. It’s a beautiful, visceral representation of his musical vision and a live experience unlike any other. "It started as a dream," Apashe told EDM.com prior to the show. "Now that it’s a reality, no one in my team or I expected this to be so complicated or so expensive. It’s very intense but I’m glad it’s working out really well." It worked better than well—it was brilliant. Roughly 20 hooded classical musicians brought a new level of authenticity to Apashe’s unique musical blend. Violinists, cellists and trombonists were among the druids flanking him on stage. Sound levels are often challenging when DJs incorporate live instruments into their sets. If not careful, the recorded music can overpower the other performers. But Apashe and the live orchestra were in perfect harmony. That’s not to suggest that you couldn't tell them apart. Apashe succeeded in bringing his symphonic records to life, the orchestral instruments adding depth and layers to the performance to create bold sounds. The show felt big. "The goal is to bring live on stage something closer to the recordings of how the music is made," Apashe said at the time. “You get all these musicians. You get the real sound and the mix destroyed with the electronics." The lighting and pyrotechnics were the strings that tied Apashe’s one-of-a-kind production together. His orchestral show was dark, but not ominous—more so atmospheric. The “Fracture” producer leaned on fire and synchronized lighting patterns—primarily whites, reds and blues—to evoke a medieval mood. Austin Quach A quality supporting lineup also delighted the crowd. Habstrakt’s reputation precedes him, and his ability to get us moving was a wonderful warm-up for Apashe’s unique production. Rapper Wasiu, whose collaborations include Apashe’s “Majesty” and “Human” as well as Black Tiger Sex Machine’s “Die A God,” was a familiar face perfect to kick off the show. Josh Teed deserves special recognition. The violinist and music producer is remarkably talented. Teed effortlessly transitioned between playing the violin and DJing to craft a mesmerizing set, and the future is bright for him. Apashe’s only other philharmonic orchestral show takes place at Paris’ Zenith on February 8th. He will continue touring, however, with a brass orchestra in various American and European cities.

Where the 70s meet today’s Dance production, that’s the seam this album is at, and we love it for that. New. Music. Friday. Here we are once again, ending the week with a hoard of new releases to share. This time, though, we’ve got a very special one to share. I, for sure, have been quite vocal about my initial scepticism about cross-genre productions, unless done right, when they often blow me out of the water. Well, we’ve got such a case today. Enter, Bakermat. And what’s so special about his latest artist album Grace Note, the fourth instalment of the kind in his career? His sound is often celebrated for its unique approach, a blend of Jazz, Soul, Funk, and Pop interwoven with House elements, and this time, he’s redrawn this pairing: in Grace Note, House meets Gospel. Grace Note Comprised of 15 original compositions, Grace Note marries the spiritual core of House music — the genre in which Bakermat has garnered widespread praise for over a decade — and the feelings passed on to church attendees. Bakermat believes there’s a ton in common between these two spaces, and wants to honour the shared sentiments of both. The result is a collection of songs designed to inspire and evoke the same kind of feelings that a standout night at a club, festival, or church can deliver. From the uplifting vibes of ‘Work It Out’, to the inspirational quotes Ron Carroll delivers in ‘Life’, to the proper movie soundtrack energy of ‘Divine Stuff’, the entire album has an indescribable positive tint attached to it, and doesn’t take the tribute part lightly, as you’ll actually feel a different way once you’re finished with it. You feel, well, refreshed, and happy. To take it to the next level, the LP features the works of Lady Blackbird, Roland Clark, AMANZI, Ann Nesby, and Ron Carroll, who lend their voices for some of the tracks present, alongside Fly Disco Butter, who collaborated on the closing track ‘Your Shine’. The album title itself, Grace Note, refers to the tiny imperfections in music that add something positive — something innately human — to the composition. This isn’t music made by machines, it’s a deeply personal project that is filled with strings, organs, choirs, speeches, and Bakermat’s beloved brass. A grace note is basically a tiny little note you hit right before you play the one you’re supposed to play. It really doesn’t do that much for the composition of a song, but it does add a little bit of imperfection to it. The good kind of imperfection. You could say, in a way, that it adds grace to the song. And beauty. This album is a homage to House music and Gospel. Two of my absolute favourite genres that have much more in common than you’d think. Wherever people enter a club or a church they will experience feelings of euphoria, togetherness, joy, freedom, hope, love, wonder and affection that they cannot find anywhere else. For many people, house is their religion. So to celebrate that I made the club a church and the DJ a preacher. -Bakermat Writer’s Picks Once again I describe how I work about this section of my album reviews: I dive blindly into the album, while doing something else and having it in the background, until a song resonates with me so much that it takes me out of whatever else I’m doing and drawing my attention towards the music. This happened to me with ‘Without Ya‘. I can’t really put into words what this track does for me, but what I can describe is that it brings me back to my early childhood when Mum would pick me up from school, she had two Disco CDs she’d often play, and so the strings and the upbeat piano of ‘Without Ya’ fly me back to those moments I cherish so much. As Bakermat metaphorically phrases it, this track doesn’t do much for my entire week, say, but that moment in which it impacts my life, it brings me that good kind of imperfection, in which I have to step away from whatever I’m doing to enjoy the present, aka this track, eyes-closed, and smiling ear to ear. Even Bakermat himself knows how special the track is, as he tells us, “‘Without Ya’ is a classic feelgood anthem mixing classical instruments and soul vocals with the energy and euphoria of House. I made it at a very happy and special moment in my life and I think you can hear that in the recording. If you’re ever wondering what the Bakermat sound is exactly, this song comes pretty close to incorporating almost all the elements I love. Genre mixing, strong pianos, Disco strings and of course my beloved sax“. Bakermat — Grace Note Tracklist Intro (Feel The Positive Flow) Stand Up Work It Out Joy featuring Ann Nesby Praise Break Life featuring Ron Carroll Without Ya Glory High Above featuring Lady Blackbird Exceptional (Interlude) House Is The Religion Say You Wanna Be Divine Stuff Save My Soul featuring AMANZI Your Shine with Fly Disco Butter Final Words It’s part of my essence that I’ll praise albums which have a purpose. We’ve become accustomed to albums being light concepts, where the artist simply compiles songs and that’s it (cue my album editorial from last year), and so having a long-play with an actual theme told throughout its duration, feels wonderful. Hats off to Bakermat, who was able to put something so beautiful together, and even more hats off (if that’s even a term) for making it convey the very emotions he talks about when referring to the bond between House and church: “euphoria, togetherness, joy, freedom, hope, love, wonder and affection“. That’s pure evidence of his musical artistry. Soundtrack your weekend properly, and listen to Bakermat‘s brand-new album Grace Note by hitting the ‘Play‘ button on the Spotify player below.
